This text provides an integrated view of human facial expressions based on contemporary knowledge about the evolution of signaling across the animal kingdom. Spanning fields that range from psychology and anthropology to neurology and linguistics, it discusses questions such as: What do facial expressions express? How did facial expressions evolve? What relationship is there between expressions and emotions and motives? This book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate use as a text or course supplement. Topics covered include: the history of interpreting facial expressions; Darwinian theory; modern evolutionary theory; the biological, cultural and developmental evolution of facial expressions; and the syntactics and semantics of animal signaling.

"In Human Facial Expression, Alan Fridlund approaches the literature on facial expression like a Samurai in one of Kirosawa's glorious epics, slashing at conceptual giants such as Darwin and Ekman with poise and unquestionable courage ... Fridlund has collated a massive amount of data on the neurobiological and psychological mechanisms underlying emotional expression, in addition to providing several carefully developed hypotheses for the evolutionary origins and adaptive significance of such expressions ... The end product is a book that shows the extraordinary power of Darwinian thinking and emphasises the point that like the human eye, heart, and foot, psychological processes have also been shaped by natural selection" MARC HAUSER, Harvard University, Department of Anthropology
